Local roundup: New Paltz wrestlers defeat Ellenville

Anthony Tufano pinned John Avery in Wednesday's 285-pound bout in 14 seconds, one of six members of the New Paltz High School wrestling team to score pinfalls, on the way to the Huguenots' 45-36 team triumph over the visiting Ellenville Blue Devils.

Tufano earned the night's quickest pin, though teammate Chris McCord (23 seconds) and Troy Grant (50 seconds) needed less than a minute to pin their opponents at 145 and 220 pounds, respectively.

Highland earned three victories against Red Hook by way of forfeit, though Jesus Castellanas (120) won by pinfall in 40 seconds to pace the triumphant Huskies. Castellanas' victory was the fastest among the five Highland competitors to pin their Red Hook counterparts.

Between five weight classes not being contested and four forfeits, Miles Anthony (145) and Mike Rauch (170) were the only Raiders to earn wins against the Eagles, doing so with a decision and a pin, respectively.
